So we were having a discussion/activity about the foods of different nations. My students asked me what French people eat.

When I mentioned that the French eat snails, their was a unanimous groan of disgust.

Irony.

The kids you were teaching probably don't eat snails....

[jaganath69]

I always thought the rubbery bits I get in my Dwenjang jiggae were a form of sea snail.

Do the French eat horses?

[jaganath69]

[PeterDragon]

No, that's a Dutch/Scandinavian thing, I think.

Unless you're talking about horse-hoof-based gelatin (aka Jello).

The French do eat horse.

I have never heard of the Swedes eating horse, but maybe they do. My friends in Sweden don't, but eh.

As for snails, "but teachuh, Frenchuh snail dirty, Corean snail delicious."

A few horse restaurants on Jeju,didn't venture in though,spotted them on the way to the airport.

[PeterDragon]

Has anyone had horse? I've always wondered what it tastes like.

They eat goats in Korea, as there's a folk believe (perhaps accurate) that goat meat energizes you and makes you strong. My co-teacher tells me she tried goat and it was quite tough.

A friend of mine ate horse on Jeju with his co-workers. He said that the boiled horse's stomach stank to high heaven.

They often confuse goat with sheep and say they don't like sheep...but most have never tried it
